Burgess’ Choice Iris 
Bearded or German Iris | 
The Gorman Iris is one of the most beautiful of hardy garden \ 
plants. Will grow almost anywhere, in out-of-the-way c(>rricrs, ’ 
among shrubbery, etc., but for best results plant in a well drained i 
sunny situation, l^arely covering the roots. Avoid fresh manure i 
in preparing the bed. They require very little care, and will re- j 
main in the ground from year to year. |
